The New Routes of Globalization. Containerization, Naval Gigantism and Role of the Suez and Panama Canals
No full textMaritime transport has undergone a period of radical structural changes since the second half of the twentieth century, in which containerization, intramodality and the introduction of new information technologies have jointly played a fundamental role. From its introduction in 1956 until today, containerized traffic has assumed an increasing trend, also favoured by the emergence of a globalized production system, which has required the transfer of semi-finished and finished products between different geo-economic areas. The growth of container traffic had a significant impact in the organization of geographic spaces and in business management, producing a series of effects (constant growth in ship size – naval gigantism, reorganization of commercial routes – pendulum and hub & spoke services, vertical and horizontal integration of operators). Aims of the paper is to investigate the phenomenon of naval gigantism connected to the containerization of the goods and the impacts it has produced on the shipping market as a whole as in the territories involved in the transformation of logistics

No full textWhat is summarily understood as abandonment, turns out to be a long-lasting historical-geographical process that begins with the agrarian crisis of the 1880s and that, since the last post-war period, progressively increases the speed and the flow, up to generalize and becoming more widespread, also investing those flat-hill areas not affected by urban growth and tertiary activities. Here we are interested in correlating abandonment, depopulation, tourism, providing a perspective filtered by the technological approach. Although it is always necessary to keep in mind the consistency of territorial individualities that make general models not suited to their variation in specific cases, the approach proposed in this contribution aims to be of an inductive nature, allowing us to extract elements of profitable implementation in a homogeneous reality such as those of small villages in the inland areas close to consolidated tourist circuits
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Territori in movimento. Occasioni, prospettive e problemi dell’armatura urbana meridionale
No full textThis paper analyzes the Southern urban framework and hierarchy in its persistence and innovations, considering it within the national and European network. Data and images draw a mosaic of different realities, in which the metropolitan areas belonging to the central cities of Naples, Palermo, Bari and Catania begin to be flanked by minor rebalancing urban poles, generally constituted by the current provincial and regional capitals. The final aim is to interpret the regularities in the growth and development model outside the metropolitan agglomerations, in the awareness that, in the future, the desired rebalancing of the Italian urban framework will not be defined only in the metropolitan context, nor will it be exhausted in the flows moving from the centrality of metropolitan areas towards the outside, but will be much more complex, multiform and articulated
